Will fat graft help lift the breast? (Photos)

Question

I have lost about 10kgs, hence my breasts appear smaller and i have noticed slight drooping (lower breast droop). I'm not ready for implants, so I'm thinking more towards fat graft. Will the procedure alone be enough to lift the breast? Or will I need a donut lift also. I've heard that donut incision can be widen overtime.

Your breasts look perfectly normal to me. You nave minimal ptosis, good volume and shape. I would recommend nothing base on the photos you have posted. Thank you.

Dear Reliable855251,fat transfer breast augmentation is a viable alternative for women who desire larger breasts without the use of implants. Fat transfer is also widely used in reconstruction of the breast after a mastectomy or lumpectomy. It can also be very effective in correcting the size and shape of the breasts due to genetic problems such as tuberous breast or Poland Syndrome, two conditions that look like misshapen or underdeveloped breasts.In addition, the following scenarios are also reason to consider breast fat grafting:• If you have chest areas that appear creased and sunken• If you desire more permanent correction than is provided by temporary fillers• If you wish to improve your body contour, revise scars, fill bodily depressions and rejuvenate the natural curve of your breasts• To fill in contour irregularities or hide obvious signs of breast implantsYou should discuss your concerns with a board certified plastic surgeon and make sure your surgeon understands your concerns and your breast augmentation goals. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

In my experience, fat transfer works well to restore upper breast fullness without implants and/or a lift.

Provided you have adequate fat to utilize, a modest increase in fulness can make the breasts appear slightly “lifted.” You appear to be a good candidate.

An exam and consultation with a plastic surgeon who performs these procedures is recommended to confirm you are a candidate as well as discuss your options and expectations.

Neither fat transfer or implants will lift the breast regardless of what you may have read. But if you want a little more volume you can try fat transfer

Thank you for your question. Fat grafting in it of itself will not lift the breasts, however, it will help to fill them out and increase the upper pole fullness so that your breasts have a more youthful, perky appearance. While it is difficult to tell with your pictures, it does not appear that you need a breast lift. Good luck.
